Dan Dee Doll Appraisal

Vintage Dan Dee Limited Edition Bisque Porcelain Doll

This is a vintage Dan Dee Limited Edition bisque porcelain doll featuring dark skin tone and dark, curly hair. The doll has a porcelain head, hands, and possibly feet (though not fully visible), with a soft, padded body construction typical of such dolls. Her facial features are delicately painted, including expressive brown eyes with visible eyelashes, well-defined eyebrows, and full, reddish-brown lips. The skin tone is a rich, warm brown. Her hair is styled with bangs across the forehead and long, voluminous black curls that frame her face and extend over her shoulders. She wears an elaborate, cream-colored dress, likely made of satin or a satin-like fabric as a base, extensively overlaid with intricate lace. The lace features various patterns and textures, including ruffled elements around the neck and cuffs, contributing to a historical or Victorian-era aesthetic. A matching lacy bonnet or hat, also in cream, adorns her head, secured with what appears to be a small amount of green ribbon or floral accent on the left side. The condition appears to be good for its age, with no immediately discernible chips, cracks, or significant damage to the porcelain. The fabric and lace may show some slight discoloration consistent with age, but no major tears or stains are apparent from the provided images. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced collectible doll, aimed at the gift or collectible market, likely from the late 20th century.
